Oh! Oh! What to wear on Oscar Night!

By Laura Medina

Haute couture designers may get the standing ovation at the end of their shows.
But, the real test is the Oscar's red carpet.
They will see which design, which gown,...let's face it, if their house or brand will make, not just one but a couple of appearances on the red carpet.
They know when a gown makes that defining moment when an actress hoists that statuette in the air in their gowns; it will launch droves of shoppers and waves of knock-offs that will forever define fashion of that era.
Trust this scribe...the world's most influential editors will be ensconced at home or hotel like everyone else, watching on the sofa, the red carpet and the acceptance speech.

Here are the trends you will be catching on Sunday's red carpet.

The first one, on the left, is an instant buy. A little "young" for the world's most prestigious award show but a great, flirty, year-around, seasonless go-to Little Black Dress. This short number is sassy enough for the Golden Globes and fun enough for the GRAMMY. This is why it's the first-if you see it, get it.

Glamour does need an injection of color, especially hot, sultry pink for the arrival of Spring which transition into hot, sexy Summer. As classic as it may be, that does get predictable with a sea of black. A shot of color never hurts. Think of it as blush and lipstick for the body, it'll warm up the skin tone.

Oscar night is Cinderella night for the starlets. They have every right to go "Princess" and be frilly such as this creamy number with the ruffle train. Debutantes may have to pay notice in watching Sunday's red carpet.

Oscar night is ok and encouraged to go glitz-with taste. This golden medallion on smokey grey crepe silk is an unexpected but elegant stunner. Very mysterious but stunning-in an Angelina Jolie way.

Expect more fabulous finds during this Oscar Week.
